Vehicle Description
If you're going to paint a coupe this shade of metallic orange, you
better be prepared for two things: all eyes to be on you and have
the power to back up your boldness. That's why we say this 1971
Chevrolet Camaro really knows how to do it right.
The color you can't take your eyes off is called Orange Crush. It
has a deep metallic element that radiates in the sunshine and tells
you it's a quality application. We like how this one gives us the
feeling of colors like Classic Copper that was available in 1971,
but at the same time, you also know this is a modern application.
So it's bold while still keeping an eye on history. After all, this
is a terrific classic coupe, and it celebrates that in the details,
like the bright chrome bumpers and the big rear spoiler that
aggressively cuts into the Camaro's sleek lines. And we also love
how this one has a well-coordinated dark side. It's in the SS
grille and 15-inch wheels. Plus, those Z/28-style racing stripes
are cleared over so that they look smooth against the paint and
cowl hood.
The interior is the right mix of stock components and upgrades to
focus all your attention on performance. The high-back bucket
seats, door panels, dash, carpeting, and headliner create an
attractive full black appearance that gets right down to business.
Your left hand will love the black and chrome sports steering wheel
that's on a tilt column, and your right one rests comfortably on
the B&M performance shifter. And the wraparound dash panel is
now full of AutoMeter Phantom gauges including a large speedo and
tach.
We love an engine bay with smooth inner walls and a hardy big block
at the center. This 454 cubic-inch V8 has been made for power and
we have the cam car and rebuilt receipt to prove it. Plus, you can
spot the Holley double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
mid-rise intake, and long tube headers feeding the Flowmaster dual
exhaust. You'll even spot good supporting components like an Optima
red top battery and a large Griffin aluminum radiator w/electric
fans. The three-speed automatic transmission has a 3500 stall to
keep you in the powerband. But while this is powerful, it's also
quite streetable. Especially because you have power steering, power
brakes w/discs upfront, and wide BF Goodrich T/As for a great
all-around package.
This Camaro has the bold looks and big power you've been after for
so long. Don't let it slip away, call today!
